Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Nonono, trust me, you want to go insane. Not only is the world much prettier on this side of reality, you get a "get out of jail free card" with membership. And, to top it all off, those stupid annoying things that used to annoy you because they were so stupid? Completely unnoticeable against the background voices...:P

Also, the article said the fans split moleculse, not atoms. this is key and probably a matter of confusion over ionisers. Not that ionisers can kill you either. Ion Cannon though...

Why is no one else enraged by this 'Fan Death' bullshit? It's like Korea wasn't ridiculous enough already from people dying from playing Starcraft and not peeing.

I'm not even surprised by that. They seem to take their superstitions and urban legends pretty seriously over there.

In Malaysia they chop tails off cats, because cats have some evil magical power and it's apparently contained in their tail. I can't remember the specifics, and a quick googling didn't help, but I seem to recall it had something to do with binding people's souls to the cat's tail upon death, preventing them from moving on to the afterlife. I may be thinking about the wrong thing though. In any case, I've travelled around Malaysia a lot, and never saw a cat with an intact tail there.

Thats barbaric. I hate when people mutilate animals, be it clipping a dog's tail or their ears, or this.

Seriously, a cats tail isn't there just for show. They need them for acrobatics and shit.

I hate people sometimes. You would think entering to modern age would entail abandoning bullshit and detrimental superstitions like that. Am I just being ignorant? Does America do some kind of equivalent?

I was going to suggest that the Enlightenment weeded out a lot of the superstition in Western society, but then the real reason occurred to me. Authoritarian monotheistic religions have one advantage: they discourage random superstitious bullshit that isn't part of their dogma.
